Famous Coffee Lovers: Scientists and Thinkers Who Fueled Their Genius with Coffee

Coffee has long been the drink of deep thinkers, inventors, and dreamers. From brilliant scientists to world-changing philosophers, countless great minds have relied on coffee to power their genius. Albert Einstein is often counted among history’s great coffee enthusiasts, while philosopher Immanuel Kant was known for his peculiar but consistent coffee rituals. Voltaire and Søren Kierkegaard famously drank up to 50 cups a day, proving that inspiration sometimes comes with a strong dose of caffeine. Even composers like Beethoven and Bach paid tribute to their love of coffee — Bach even wrote the playful “Coffee Cantata”!
